The Invitation

"I was deliberating which Lucy Foley to choose because I’ve gone for very classic kind of locked room, small cast thrillers with my other choices. The Guest List is an obvious choice by Lucy, and so well known, but I decided to go for one of her earlier novels, The Invitation . The Invitation is slightly different. There’s a bit of Sleeping with the Enemy in there , the film with Julia Roberts. A haunting, unsettling vibe. It’s very glamorous, and I love the location. Lucy’s such a beautiful writer. When you read her chapters, you’re suspended in Rome or in Cannes, at one point. Then later you’re on a beautiful yacht in the middle of the sea."
